cryptokitties are unique, individually owned assets for digital platforms. how are you going to play with VR/AR without the assets that are needed to make that experience worth it? he just compared the apple tree and the apples.
cryptokitties are digital assets that can live on any digital platform like a mobile phone app as an AR filter or inside your favorite video game as a character or a pet for your character. cryptokitties are digital assets that people own. if that isn't important to you, you can't see the future.
simply untrue that google has zero support staff. a better statement would be they have an automated support process for free gmail accounts. they have support staff for many of their products, including the paid version of gmail.
this law however, is to protect consumers. it prevents taxis from charging multiple people for the same ride (as separate fares). this law actually makes sense and should stay in place.
there are many native americans who support the use of this name. it honors them. it's perhaps the most "american" team in pro-football, next to their rivals, the cowboys. the name may genuinely offend some of native american origins. i doubt these folks happen to be fans of the team. not sure if that matters, just sayin.
edit: want to add i am totally in favor of renaming the team. it would be cool to keep the spirit..perhaps the "native americans"?
if said service is provided by the employer, they own the data/communications and have every right to monitor the service. same goes for work email: employers have access to this. it isn't illegal for them to access these communications done on a work account.
However, as he states in the article, instinct is the result of experience. He is saying the mechanism of instinct is older in humans than logic, so the process is more refined/trustworthy when comparing the two. Seems right to me..
how is this nimble? the chrome web store has been around for years and so has office online. this is microsoft being forced to compete on ground they don't want to compete on. you see how by listing their apps on this web store, they have validated chrome os as a platform? whereas google still refuses to release native apps for microsoft's mobile platform, and that certainly hasn't helped microsoft. this is microsoft losing.
eh. ive worked from home for 6+ years and i don't have a "space" designated for work. i work from bed, the desk, my couch, kitchen table, etc. all i need is a laptop and i'm at work.
but you can create an event from the calendar interface prior to going into the event interface. from the calendar interface, it only gives you the option of creating a title. so i can put meet with [email protected] and create the event. that's it.
Google Calendar should TOTALLY notify you you are adding someone to the event and ask if you want to send an invite. Also, if you are in the events interface and add someone's email to the title, it should add that person to the guest list on the fly. It should do these things, but it doesn't. I think that is the root of the complaint, not the feature itself.
this is a feature. it's actually pretty awesome for setting up quick meetings. It's a function of the "Quick add" feature that carries over into the title of the event: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/36604?hl=en
Edit: I am very familiar with Google's products, having helped many businesses move to Google Apps through the years. "Features" like this often surprise users and it is not unusual to get negative reactions. Normally, once you show someone how it works and explain that it isn't likely to change, they adapt.
